Hi DMOZ I recently got approved is an editor for a category, but the activation email got caught in my SPAM filter and got deleted, because it was there for over 30 days. Is there any way that I can have the activation mail resend? Best regards, Kenneth

Hey Guys, I requested to edit: Computers: Education: Certification: CompTIA I was suprised to find that application got rejected the first time inspite of having been with Dmoz for over a year and doing my job honestly. Based on feedback I have fixed a lot of listings in my category which I was not doing originally since they were by previous editor. I did make minor changes to them previously, which caused some misunderstanding. Anyways, please do let me know. Hope you guys like my work. Thanks

Hi there, I'd like to spin up a discussion about the integrity of the people reviewing new editor applications. My main problem with my application is the responds I've got from it. I applied to the category of Arts/Music/Charts containing 91 links. Now charts is a subject which is either an archive or highly up to date (weekly max monthly). There are actually dead links in this category, links which haven't been updated for more than a year, and perhaps more surprisingly links to promote party DJ's. So I thought I apply for this directory. I personally believe I have good credentials, it's been my hobby for 5 years and been doing data mining related to charts for…

Hello, I was wondering if I could ask a meta editor advice about my Dmoz application. I applied for a category, my username stevy1 (http://www.dmoz.org/Home/Consumer_Information/Appliances/). The letter I recieved back said "Although we would like you to join us as a volunteer editor, you have chosen a category that is already well represented" - it then said that I should reapply to a less represented category. I reapplied to a small category as stevy1 again (http://www.dmoz.org/Home/Consumer_Information/Appliances/Coffee/) but have been rejected because they said I didn't disclose all my affilates / websites. However I did disclose everything, being very op…

Can anybody give me some advice or feedback? I have been turned down twice, now. My most recent was for the category: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/Mexico/States/Quintana_Roo/Localities/Playa_del_Carmen/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Hotels/ The category contains 50 sites. The username I used was "Maia". I was very careful to check the spelling and grammar in my application. I did not write "promotional" descriptions. Mine were along the line of: Hacienda Maria Bonita 40 rooms and one master suite, located one block off of 5th Avenue. Swimming pool and restaurant. I mentioned that I submitted a Playa del Carmen Travel Guide to DMOZ several…

can someone recheck my application? I applied for an editor position in this category: http://www.google.com/Top/Recreation/Food/Drink/Coffee/Home_Roast/ The response I got back was that "This is not a shopping category." I assume that they said that because one of the URLs I submitted was a site that sells beans for home roasting in new zealand (http://www.roastyourowncoffee.co.nz) What confuses me is that the category IS for shopping sites. (ALL the sites in this category are shopping sites) Can someone give advice on how to get re-processed? or should I resubmit the application?

I just got a refusal on my 4th application. The Reviewer Comments were "Incomplete response to "Please give details, including URLs, of any sites that you own or have designed or promoted, either in full or in part. Also, mention whether you have contributed content to any site, and give URLs as appropriate"." How complete does this need to be? Things I did not include. Forums I have made posts in (including this one). Sites I have been quoted in but did not submit to directly. I worked for a time as press officer for a non profit campaign (http://www.unmetered.org.uk). I disclosed this site. In the course of this work I was quoted in many other sites fr…

I applied recently to become an editor but my application was denied among other things, which I understand and agree with, was something that didn't make much sense to me. I was told that the titles I selected were wrong. According to the guidelines one option for the title is the official name of the business or company. I Quote "Do give the official name of the business or entity as the title". end of quote. from the following url http://www. geoscanners.com I suggested the title to be Geoscanners AB which is the company/business official name. the same for http://www. radarteam.se, title Radarteam Sweden AB and finally http://www. lanviser.com with Landviser LL…

Hello Dmoz, This is my first post. Thank you for making such a quality directory. I have read through your stance on an editor having an affilation with a site in a category he/she would like too edit. Your stance as I understand is that it isn't looked down on because you would be an expert of that subject but you do look at these applications alot closer. I see why this is needed too make sure your not opening the system for abuse. I am posting because I have submitted an app 6 times and have been rejected(This is not a status check :-). One reviewer was nice and made some comments so I revised my app. I am very passionate about the category I am submitting …

I'm reading that I needed to disclose all the sites I am linked with or have worked on. I have already submitted an application (today) and only listed the sites of mine that I have really got traffic going to. However, I do have a few others that I have only begun work on, or have been slow to develop. If I need to list those, is it too late? May I list them here? I also have several sites that link to me, and I link to several. Others have my banners. Are these also things I need to post (here or on the application)? I'm almost kicking myself for not having kept better tabs on where everything is. But I can find it all, if need be. I'm sure learning, l…

Hi, three weeks ago I applied to be an editor in the category: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Employment/Job_Search/World-wide/ with editor's name: vlami My application was rejected with the comment: ------------------------------------------------------ Dear vlami, Thank you very much for your application. The ODP relies on enthusiastic volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately it appears that you have not fully disclosed your affiliated websites in the section entitled, "Sites with which you are associated." Affiliated websites include those that you own, market, assist with, have written content for, maintain, etc. I encourage you to apply again, being …

I am going to be submitting my application again this weekend. I just want to clarify about disclosing of web site affiliations. If I have a link exchange agreement or am advertising on a web site do I have to disclose that? Or is it only web sites I have a financial stake in or have contributed to the design? I was also wondering if I write articles that appear often on a web site but do not own is that something that must be disclosed? I just want to cover all my bases. Thankyou.

Could someone please clear up in my mind the following points. I understand that any website I run or have worked on has to be declared. If I have banner advertisers I suspect I have to declare them, but can I declare them by affiliate network ie Commision Junction/tradedoubler etc. Finally I have a extensive links database (at present over 200 and growing) do I have to declare them as well. I would like to become an editor, as I belive in helping out any organation that has help me, but suspect filling in my affiliations will take longer that reviewing the site Keep up the good work Jason

I have submitted my site four times in two years and still never got listed. About a year ago I requested to be an editor on the same category that I submit my site and was told that there were enough editors on this category Arts: Music: Styles: R: Regional and Ethnic: African. I am still open to be an editor. I believe that I always follow site submission guidelines and I can’t get it why my site never gets listed.

The albanian section of the Directory is really very poor and out there are a lot of albanian or albanian related websites that should be included in this section. I would like to become an editor of the albanian section to add new sites, remove some not active and to take care of this section in general. Regards.

Based on recommendations on this post, I applied as an editor to the LA Artists and Galleries category. I know, it's probably still too early to find out but I'm just checking in.

Salut I applied to become an editor for the Algerian cuisine section. I am Algerian, born in France and currently living in America. I am a chef instructor at The California School of Culinary Arts, Le Cordon Bleu Program. I also have an Algerian cuisine blog http://mybookofrai.typepad.com/cuisinealgerienne/ I passed up an opportunity for a cookbook deal to publish my recipes for free online so that it could reach more Algerians all over the world. Less than two weeks after starting my other blog http://mybookofrai.typepad.com/my_weblog/ The Algerians found me! People from Setif, the Province my family is from, were the first to find the site, then it snowballed…
